People are all so bored of the game and playing BG3

[FenyxRising]

Reclearing Savage today, all I heard was BG3 BG3 BG3. The few times we actually talked about FF14 it was saying how people wanted to get the reclear over with as fast as possible so they can go back to BG3. The Discord servers I'm in also just talks about BG3 and AC6 now.

Over the years I'm noticing a pattern: people don't actually like doing Savage reclears after week 2 or 3 ? Always it's about getting it over with fast so they can go back to playing other games ?

I usually notice this mostly among raiders... But even the casual players I know in FF14 are all talking about BG3 and are just idle in FF14 while playing BG3 and use FF14 to chat once in a while in say or linkshell.

Really let's be honest do we play FF14 because it's a good game these days ? Or do we just use it as a social platform to hype ourselves up about other games like BG3 and AC6 ?

Isnt that literally the point of FFXIV ? Get savage or whatever over with so you can play other games as soon as possible

but hey people say the game is thriving so, I guess they take people rushing things to play better games as a good thing and a sign that the game is doing well somehow

Now and then, I stop playing a game I like to focus on another game I like.

It's really sad because we used to get excited about FF14 now we are mostly excited about other games and FF14 has become a chore ? Really so many people only raid/Limsa/mod to keep in touch with friends.

Inb4 GCBTW somehow spins playing 14 for as little time as possible so they can go back to playing other games is a good thing for 14

Why shouldn't people who play FF14 also play other new and/or good games that come out?

That's just normal. I like to focus. The problem for me is that I barely feel like logging into XIV anymore even after a patch drops. The current job design and cutscenes marathon without any challenge just kills it for me.

Please read my post again, the point is that people want to get their FF14 chores over with ASAP to play other games, they want to spend the minimum amount of time possible in FF14 and fulfill their obligations and then they play other games.

You would see this exact same thing happening even if everything you want changed for the game to be better in your opinion was done by SE. This and the player count arguement are so nonsensical. None of you would care about either if the game would be exactly to your taste.

If there actually was fun, engaging content and challenging content to do, people wouldnt have to go literally everywhere else to get that.
